79.COUNT ....
Vlad X also known as Vlad the Impaler, was the ruler of Wallachia, a small region in Romania. When he was young, his father and elder brother were killed before his eyes by Ottoman Turks. Then he grew older ascended the throne and had his revenge on the Ottomans and the boyars by raiding Transylvania and wiping out the boyars. His favourite method of killing was impalement and was hence known as the Impaler. When he died, he was buried in Wallachia. But when his grave was unburied in 1900 for research, the researchers found nothing. This gave birth to a famous legend with his surname X. A picture of his bust can be found below. Identify X and the legend(both are same).
